Chapter 853: A Reminder from Number One
The sunset was like blood, and the scattered clouds around were dyed a faint pink, and the pink gradually blurred half of the sky, in stark contrast to the dark blue of the other sky, and after a while the sky gradually darkened, and the gray-blue slowly swallowed up the beautiful Caixia.
When night fell, Pakistan presented another kind of beauty, and Li Lan, who returned to the State Guesthouse in Islamabad, had not had time to appreciate the beauty of this young modern city when a call from No. 1 came.
"You've changed." As soon as the phone was connected, No. 1 said something inexplicably.
"How did I change?" Li Lan asked.
"You're looking more and more like a politician, no, you're a qualified politician now." Road 1.
On the other end of the phone, the corners of Li Lan's mouth curled slightly, and said: "I don't have the ability to change the world now, I can only be changed by the world, and only by integrating into the world can I change the world, I try to integrate myself into the world, but keep my own heart." â
"I wish I could find out your secrets in my lifetime, my old man has lived most of his life, and he has not been so interested in any secrets." No. 1 also smiled slightly and said: "Although your growth has nothing to do with me, every time I see your progress, I can always feel an inexplicable pride, and I can't help but want to help you." â
"Because we are all sons and daughters of China, we are all for the common long-cherished wish." Li Lan said.
"Maybe!" No. 1 shook his head slightly, changed the topic and said: "How did you gain from this trip, presumably you can't be compared to Obama!" â
"The harvest is okay, you have put in so much effort to help pave the way for me. If I'm still unsteady, I'm sorry for you. Li Lan said.
"It seems that Pakistan has already promised to receive aircraft carriers?" One asked.
"There's nothing wrong with that. India's acceptance of American aircraft carriers deeply irritated Pakistan. I am afraid that early tomorrow morning, Pakistani Navy soldiers will go to Somalia for specialized training on aircraft carriers. Li Lan said.
"But you are really the next book, an aircraft carrier will be sent if it is sent, that is a ship of real money! Moreover, you dare to boldly send one out of four aircraft carrier battle groups now, this kind of courage and courage makes me, an old man, deeply ashamed! Number One said.
"It's not right now, I'll add two more aircraft carrier battle groups in three years. I even want to send the USS Boulau out of the aircraft carrier battle group! Li Lan said.
"Why? Is it because you can't afford it? One asked curiously, "Aren't you quite rich?" â
"It's really going to run out of money, four aircraft carrier battle groups, and all kinds of expenses in a year are nearly 50 billion shillings, and it is already a great luck to be able to maintain it now."
Li Lan is not really crying poor, the fact is true, although the amount of money spent is much worse than the 50 billion yuan in his mouth, but at least one million dollars must be set aside every day. For the maintenance and supply of aircraft carrier battle groups, if there is no large-scale weapons production, then he can take out this money more relaxedly, and now every factory is producing in large quantities. There is also not a lot of money space left to be used.
Considering the conversion of maintenance costs and combat effectiveness, he really wanted to send the Boulau out as well, and he could also earn a high profit from it. It is also possible to improve the overall quality of the naval aircraft carrier battle group, after all, a conventionally powered aircraft carrier. It has gradually failed to keep up with the pace of second-generation aircraft carriers, let alone third-generation supercarriers.
So. In the future, the aircraft carrier route he will take will be high-precision, and even more so, it will be an unmanned carrier-based aircraft-based combat mode, and the scientific and technological content of the Bourau will no longer be able to meet the scientific and technological needs of future wars. And sending the aircraft carrier out is not directly weakening its own strength, the strength of its allies, and sometimes its own strength.
No. 1 agrees with Li Lan's words very much, in fact, he also wants to see where Li Lan's limit is, after all, Somalia, which has just developed now, does not have the strength to raise that army, and Li Lan himself insists on it.
In the eyes of the outside world, Li Lan alone supports a world's top army, and can already be called a non-human, and when talking about this matter, the country of Somalia has been ignored for a long time.
Based on the current cost of building and maintaining weapons and equipment, plus several wars, even if Somalia invests all its annual finances, it will not be enough. And Li Lan alone can support such a huge army, which shows that it is not simple.
As for China's 50 billion support for Somalia at the beginning, Li Lan didn't even use it on himself, which made No. 1 admire Li Lan's ability even more.
"You said that there will be an aircraft carrier battle group in the next year, isn't this shaking the world!" Number One said amusedly.
"Although I have a lot of problems, I never say big things." Li Lan heard the meaning of No. 1's words and said ambitiously: "I will not only build an aircraft carrier battle group in one year, but I will not stop the development of the army and air force, and in ten years, I will build the world's No. 1 army." â
No. 1 did not doubt Li Lan's ability and determination, but asked, "But when the time comes, what can you do?" Fight for world domination? Aren't you afraid of causing a nuclear war? â
"Huh!" When Li Lan heard this, he said confidently: "Do you think a nuclear war can be fought?" â
"I can't fight."
"That's it, since you can't afford to fight, what are you worried about?" Li Lan said.
"I'm afraid that someone will really have a hot head by then." Road 1.
"Don't worry! I also don't want to ruin the whole human race. Li Lan said.
"I hope so." On the other end of the phone, No. 1 sighed slightly in his heart, changed the topic and said: "You handled the affairs of Uganda very well, and surrendered without a fight. Military affairs are only a continuation of the political system, and if non-military means can be used to achieve the political goal, we should not start a war lightly. â
No. 1's bitter heart was full of concern, and Li Lan's heart was very touched every time, but he never expressed his heart, "Of course, every one of my soldiers is precious." â
"But you also have to be careful, NATO can't let you control those three arms depots, maybe they will attack Museveni immediately, they can't attack you, but Museveni doesn't have as good a defense force as you." One reminded.
When Li Lan heard this, he nodded approvingly and said: "I also took into account, it is impossible for NATO to watch Uganda fall to our side like this, Museveni asked me for help from the beginning, and he also expected it, and also detained NATO representative Anders." It's just that it's not clear what means NATO intends to use against him. â
"Well, you'd better be careful yourself, don't give NATO a chance to kill you." Number One reminded again.
"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to kill." Li Lan said confidently.
"I know you're pretty good, but those who drown are water-savvy, so it's always right to be careful."
âŚâŚ
After hanging up the phone, Li Lan did not put down the mobile phone, but opened the information sent by the intelligence department, flipped through them one by one, and soon locked on several pieces of information about Uganda and India.
In a brief exchange with No. 1, many of the two people's thoughts coincided. If it weren't for the fact that Li Lan is the president of a country, I am afraid that his current head would be the most valuable in the world.
No one in the entire NATO does not want to see him die, after all, as long as Li Lan dies, the so-called threat from Somalia will not exist. But Li Lan is so easy to kill, from a small video at the beginning, it can be seen that Li Lan's skills, coupled with the protective power of zĂ i around him, even if he is the best killer in the world, he does not dare to guarantee 100% success, and a little assassination failure, the original crisis will be infinitely magnified.
But the benefits of removing Li Lan are too great, big enough to make NATO dare to take risks. Li Lan himself knows this very well, and the reason why he has not yet encountered the so-called assassination is only because NATO has no chance.
Compared with Li Lan, Museveni himself has no force value, he is just a big-bellied politician, and the guards around him are not as comprehensive as Li Lan's side, the most important point is that Uganda is not Somalia, and it is not difficult for NATO to be ruthless against Museveni.
At that time, as long as Museveni is dead, NATO can support a new president at any time, and then it will inevitably be in opposition to Somalia, so the previous efforts will be in vain.
So, Museveni can't die, at least not yet.
After browsing a few pieces of information about Uganda's current situation, he did not find anything suspicious, but Li Lan was not reassured, he knew that if NATO really wanted to attack Museveni, the best time would be in these two days.
After issuing an order for the intelligence services to intensify surveillance of Uganda, Li Lan clicked on India's intelligence.
After seeing the content of the intelligence, Li Lan frowned slightly, and the facts were a little different from what he expected.
Originally, he thought that the United States had shown its greatest sincerity by giving the two aircraft carriers to India, and India would accept the two aircraft carriers at most. What surprised him was the attitude of the Americans towards India.
The United States not only promised to help India upgrade its shipbuilding industry, but also planned to upgrade one of the aircraft carriers in India and lay the production line of the F-18 in India.
Don't look at these two conditions are very simple, the meaning is not simple at all, the United States' move is tantamount to a promise to India to help India improve its industrial system, this is a big deal.
In addition to the aircraft carrier deal, the Indians have also ordered a number of warships from the United States, including Aegis destroyers, and even attack nuclear submarines.
In addition to the F-35 project, it is also the world's largest military purchase. (To be continued......)
